Fans of comedian, author, and television personality Kathy Griffin lined up around the block for a chance to chat and have their picture taken with the author visiting at Laguna Beach Books last week.

An estimated 350 fans turned out in Laguna, creating a party-like atmosphere at the second stop in Griffin’s three-city dash between Hollywood and La Jolla promoting her memoir. Some in the crowd had started lining up before the retailer opened.
